Frontispiece with vintage baby carriage over an antiques store, Barcelona, Spain.
I'm trying to get warm, after spending the day in the freezing cold with two friends at Marche aux Puces at Clignacourt. Yes, we found treasures. More about those later. In accordance with my "one thing comes in, another goes out philosophy," items will be moving on next week, sold either by an antiques dealer or via eBay France.
If you're in Paris this month, the annual Antiquites Brocante at Bercy Village begins Thursday, Jan. 15 and continues from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily through Jan. 25th. Take Metro line 14 to Cour Saint-Emilion or Bus line 24 or 62 to Bercy. It's worth the trip just to see the old Place des Vins de France, or wine warehouses hosting the event. Happy hunting!
Love Gillian's comment!!
I need me some Tara! ;-)
Yup, that why I dropped by.
I can virtually come to Paris. Isn't it amazing?
Is it okay if I put this photo in my photo file??

Yes, you need to come to Paris! And hopefully, you'll miss the cold, miserable weather. xoxox

Impossible to stay warm here at the moment - snow still on the ground and it's freezing! But one can't be deterred by a little thing like the weather when browsing an antiques market.

Let's hope so! :)

I cannot wait for what will certainly be a visual feast! I wish I could be there. Will the Place des Vins be giving any tastes des Vin?

I can imagine the wonders you found here! Stay warm and have fun sorting through it all...
happy weekend,

Sounds good Tara. Keep us updated, as some of us may be lucky to get there within the next two months.
Working diligently on breaking hubby down...I needs me some Paris and some Tara!!!

For a second, I was hoping you had purchased that beautiful baby carriage... for those of us who thought they might be in Paris but now are not, does this mean you'll go to the brocante for us?
